# Project Mycelium - Comprehensive Slice Management Plan
|
|
## Complete UX Vision & Implementation Strategy
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 🌟 **Vision & End Goals**
|
|
|
|
### **The Big Picture**
|
|
Transform the Project Mycelium from a **node-centric** to a **slice-centric** compute marketplace, where users can rent standardized compute units instead of entire nodes. This democratizes access to ThreeFold's decentralized infrastructure by making it more affordable and accessible.
|
|
|
|
### **Core Value Proposition**
|
|
- **For Users**: Rent exactly what you need (1 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 200GB storage) instead of entire nodes
|
|
- **For Farmers**: Maximize node utilization by selling multiple slices per node
|
|
- **For ThreeFold**: Increase marketplace liquidity and accessibility
|
|
|
|
### **Key Success Metrics**
|
|
1. **Increased marketplace activity** - More rentals due to lower entry barriers
|
|
2. **Higher node utilization** - Farmers earn more from partially-used nodes
|
|
3. **Better user experience** - Clear, standardized compute units
|
|
4. **Reduced complexity** - No more guessing about resource allocation
|
|

|
## 🎯 **Complete User Experience Design**
|
|
|
|
### **🚜 Farmer Journey: From Node to Slices**
|
|
|
|
#### **Current State (Node-based)**
|
|
```
|
|
Farmer adds 32 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 2TB storage node
|
|
→ Sets price for entire node ($200/month)
|
|
→ Node sits empty until someone needs ALL resources
|
|
→ Low utilization, missed revenue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### **Target State (Slice-based)**
|
|
```
|
|
Farmer adds 32 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 2TB storage node
|
|
→ System automatically calculates: 32 slices available
|
|
(min(32/1, 128/4, 2000/200) = min(32, 32, 10) = 10 slices)
|
|
→ Farmer sets price per slice ($25/month per slice)
|
|
→ 10 different users can rent individual slices
|
|
→ Maximum utilization, predictable revenue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### **Detailed Farmer UX Flow**
|
|
|
|
**Step 1: Node Addition (Enhanced)**
|
|
- Farmer navigates to "Add Node" in dashboard
|
|
- Enters ThreeFold Grid node ID
|
|
- System fetches real-time capacity from gridproxy API
|
|
- **NEW**: System automatically shows "This node can provide X slices"
|
|
- **NEW**: Farmer sees potential monthly revenue: "Up to $X/month if all slices rented"
|
|
|
|
**Step 2: Slice Configuration (New)**
|
|
- Farmer sets price per slice (within platform min/max limits)
|
|
- **NEW**: Farmer sets node-level SLA commitments:
|
|
- Minimum uptime guarantee (e.g., 99.5%)
|
|
- Minimum bandwidth guarantee (e.g., 100 Mbps)
|
|
- **NEW**: System shows competitive analysis: "Similar nodes in your region charge $X-Y"
|
|
- Farmer confirms and publishes slices to marketplace
|
|
|
|
**Step 3: Slice Management Dashboard (Enhanced)**
|
|
- **NEW**: Real-time slice allocation view:
|
|
```
|
|
Node: farmer-node-001 (Belgium)
|
|
├── Slice 1: 🟢 Rented by user@example.com (expires: 2025-02-15)
|
|
├── Slice 2: 🟢 Rented by dev@startup.com (expires: 2025-03-01)
|
|
├── Slice 3: 🟡 Available
|
|
└── Slice 4: 🟡 Available
|
|
```
|
|
- **NEW**: Revenue tracking: "This month: $150 earned, $100 pending"
|
|
- **NEW**: Performance monitoring: "Uptime: 99.8% (above SLA)"
|
|
|
|
**Step 4: Ongoing Management (Enhanced)**
|
|
- Farmer receives notifications when slices are rented/released
|
|
- **NEW**: Automatic price suggestions based on demand
|
|
- **NEW**: SLA monitoring alerts if uptime/bandwidth drops below commitments
|
|
|
|
### **👤 User Journey: From Complex to Simple**
|
|
|
|
#### **Current State (Node-based)**
|
|
```
|
|
User needs 1 vCPU for small app
|
|
→ Must rent entire 32 vCPU node ($200/month)
|
|
→ Wastes 31 vCPUs, overpays by 3100%
|
|
→ Complex resource planning required
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### **Target State (Slice-based)**
|
|
```
|
|
User needs 1 vCPU for small app
|
|
→ Rents 1 slice with exactly 1 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 200GB storage
|
|
→ Pays fair price ($25/month)
|
|
→ Simple, predictable resources
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### **Detailed User UX Flow**
|
|
|
|
**Step 1: Marketplace Discovery (Enhanced)**
|
|
- User visits `/marketplace/compute`
|
|

## 🏗️ **Technical Architecture & Implementation**
|
|
|
|
### **System Design Principles**
|
|
|
|
1. **Leverage Existing Infrastructure**: Build on robust [`GridService`](projectmycelium/src/services/grid.rs:1), [`FarmNode`](projectmycelium/src/models/user.rs:164), [`NodeMarketplaceService`](projectmycelium/src/services/node_marketplace.rs:1)
|
|
|
|
2. **Atomic Operations**: Prevent slice double-booking with file locking
|
|
|
|
3. **Clear Separation of Concerns**:
|
|
- **Node-level**: SLA characteristics (uptime, bandwidth, location)
|
|
- **Slice-level**: Compute resources (1 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 200GB storage)
|
|
|
|
4. **Backward Compatibility**: Existing node rentals continue working
|
|
|
|
### **Core Algorithm: Slice Calculation**
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
// The heart of the system: How many slices can a node provide?
|
|
fn calculate_max_slices(node: &FarmNode) -> i32 {
|
|
let available_cpu = node.capacity.cpu_cores - node.used_capacity.cpu_cores;
|
|
let available_ram = node.capacity.memory_gb - node.used_capacity.memory_gb;
|
|
let available_storage = node.capacity.storage_gb - node.used_capacity.storage_gb;
|
|
|
|
// Each slice needs: 1 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 200GB storage
|
|
let max_by_cpu = available_cpu / 1;
|
|
let max_by_ram = available_ram / 4;
|
|
let max_by_storage = available_storage / 200;
|
|
|
|
// Bottleneck determines maximum slices
|
|
std::cmp::min(std::cmp::min(max_by_cpu, max_by_ram), max_by_storage)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example Calculations**:
|
|
- **High-CPU node**: 32 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 1TB storage → `min(32, 16, 5) = 5 slices`
|
|
- **Balanced node**: 16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 4TB storage → `min(16, 16, 20) = 16 slices`
|
|
- **Storage-heavy node**: 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 10TB storage → `min(8, 8, 50) = 8 slices`
|
|
|
|
### **Data Model Enhancement**
|
|
|
|
#### **Enhanced FarmNode Structure**
|
|
```rust
|
|
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
|
|
pub struct FarmNode {
|
|
// ... ALL existing fields remain unchanged ...
|
|
|
|
// NEW: Slice management
|
|
pub calculated_slices: Vec<CalculatedSlice>,
|
|
pub allocated_slices: Vec<AllocatedSlice>,
|
|
pub slice_price_per_hour: Decimal,
|
|
|
|
// NEW: Node-level SLA (inherited by all slices)
|
|
pub min_uptime_sla: f32, // e.g., 99.5%
|
|
pub min_bandwidth_mbps: i32, // e.g., 100 Mbps
|
|
pub price_locked: bool, // Prevent farmer price manipulation
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
|
|
pub struct CalculatedSlice {
|
|
pub id: String, // e.g., "node123_slice_1"
|
|
pub cpu_cores: i32, // Always 1
|
|
pub memory_gb: i32, // Always 4
|
|
pub storage_gb: i32, // Always 200
|
|
pub status: SliceStatus, // Available/Reserved/Allocated
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
|
|
pub struct AllocatedSlice {
|
|
pub slice_id: String,
|
|
pub renter_email: String,
|
|
pub rental_start: DateTime<Utc>,
|
|
pub rental_end: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
|
|
pub monthly_cost: Decimal,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Service Architecture**
|
|
|
|
#### **1. SliceCalculatorService** (New)
|
|
- **Purpose**: Calculate available slices from node capacity
|
|
- **Key Method**: `calculate_available_slices(node: &FarmNode) -> Vec<CalculatedSlice>`
|
|
- **Algorithm**: Uses min(CPU/1, RAM/4, Storage/200) formula
|
|
|
|
#### **2. SliceAllocationService** (New)
|
|
- **Purpose**: Atomic slice rental with conflict prevention
|
|
- **Key Method**: `rent_slice_atomic(node_id, slice_id, user_email, duration)`
|
|
- **Features**: File locking, double-booking prevention, automatic billing
|
|
|
|
#### **3. Enhanced GridService**
|
|
- **New Method**: `fetch_node_with_slices(node_id) -> FarmNode`
|
|
- **Enhancement**: Automatically calculates slices when fetching from gridproxy
|
|
|
|
#### **4. Enhanced NodeMarketplaceService**
|
|
- **New Method**: `get_all_available_slices() -> Vec<SliceMarketplaceInfo>`
|
|
- **Enhancement**: Scans all farmer data, returns available slices instead of nodes
|
|
|
|
### **Marketplace Integration**
|
|
|
|
#### **Enhanced `/marketplace/compute` Endpoint**
|
|
```rust
|
|
// Transform from node-centric to slice-centric
|
|
pub async fn compute_resources() -> Result<impl Responder> {
|
|
// Get all available slices from all farmers
|
|
let available_slices = node_marketplace_service.get_all_available_slices();
|
|
|
|
// Apply filters (location, price, SLA requirements)
|
|
let filtered_slices = apply_slice_filters(&available_slices, &query);
|
|
|
|
// Paginate and format for display
|
|
let slice_products = format_slices_for_display(&filtered_slices);
|
|
|
|
ctx.insert("slices", &slice_products);
|
|
render_template(&tmpl, "marketplace/compute.html", &ctx)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### **New `/api/marketplace/rent-slice` Endpoint**
|
|
```rust
|
|
pub async fn rent_slice(request: web::Json<RentSliceRequest>) -> Result<impl Responder> {
|
|
match SliceAllocationService::rent_slice_atomic(
|
|
&request.node_id,
|
|
&request.slice_id,
|
|
&user_email,
|
|
request.duration_months,
|
|
) {
|
|
Ok(_) => Ok(HttpResponse::Ok().json({
|
|
"success": true,
|
|
"message": "Slice rented successfully",
|
|
"access_info": "Credentials will be provided within 5 minutes"
|
|
})),
|
|
Err(e) => Ok(HttpResponse::BadRequest().json({
|
|
"success": false,
|
|
"message": e
|
|
}))
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```

## 🔄 **Complete Implementation Workflow**
|
|
|
|
### **Phase 1: Foundation (Day 1)**
|
|
1. **Enhance FarmNode model** - Add slice fields to existing [`FarmNode`](projectmycelium/src/models/user.rs:164)
|
|
2. **Create SliceCalculatorService** - Implement slice calculation algorithm
|
|
3. **Test slice calculation** - Verify algorithm works with existing node data
|
|
|
|
### **Phase 2: Core Services (Day 2)**
|
|
1. **Enhance GridService** - Add slice calculation to node fetching
|
|
2. **Create SliceAllocationService** - Implement atomic rental with file locking
|
|
3. **Test allocation logic** - Verify no double-booking possible
|
|
|
|
### **Phase 3: Marketplace Integration (Day 3)**
|
|
1. **Enhance NodeMarketplaceService** - Add slice marketplace methods
|
|
2. **Modify MarketplaceController** - Update compute endpoint for slices
|
|
3. **Add rental endpoint** - Implement `/api/marketplace/rent-slice`
|
|
|
|
### **Phase 4: Frontend Enhancement (Day 4)**
|
|
1. **Update marketplace template** - Replace node display with slice display
|
|
2. **Add rental modal** - Implement slice rental interface
|
|
3. **Enhance dashboards** - Add slice management for farmers and users
|
